Later in the afternoon we got to be guests at the 10-10-10 wedding of my high school best friend, Kristie Gilman, and her fiance, Ryan Edwards. The ceremony was held outside at the Mahaffie Farm in Olathe. There was a duo performing on guitar/violin and (if I googled it correctly) a hammered dulcimer. Ryan was adorned with a top hat, sword, cane, and a neat cog/mirror piece hanging on a chain. Kristie's dress was beautifully made by her Granny, and her hair was amazing! I'm always impressed to see what can be done with straight hair, as mine won't cooperate with any type of curl!
After the ceremony, Eric and I raced over to the reception hall with Alison, Rob, and Zach to help set up the room. The room was beautiful when it was all set up - including a Famous Dave's BBQ buffet, DDR Machine, and video compilations of pictures of the two of them. While we helped set up, we had the nervous pleasure of helping to solve a minor cake emergency. Other than that - it seemed like everything went off without a hitch. Well...Ryan and Kristie got hitched! Congratulations!!!
The music was beautiful!

Don't they look great? And happy too!

Granny also made the dresses for the girls.
I couldn't pick just one picture of her flame boots!
I love it!
Eric + kids = hilarious!
He looks like a cartoon, Zach and Eric were "racing".
I helped "swizzle" the flowers to repair what the box had done to them.
A gorgeous, and delicious, white chocolate cake!
Awesome favors - personalized cards and dice, and IBC Root Beer!
